Doesn't work at all with Microsoft Combat Simulator

I recently purchased a new HP computer with Windows Vista. HP recognizes the Cyborg Evo. It test out fine but it absolutely will not work with Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator. Everything worked fine on the old computer with Windows XP...

I also have the same problem , my Cyborg joy stick does not work at all with MS Combat Simulator. The stick also fails to opertate correctly with MS Flight Simulators. This is depite the fact that I have re-callorated the stick using the "Settings" facility.

TPI also have the same problem , my Cyborg joy stick does not work at all with MS Combat Simulator. The stick also fails to opertate correctly with MS Flight Simulators. This is depite the fact that I have re-callorated the stick using the "Settings" facility.

I have exactly the same problem on my new dell so it must be a vista problem, maybe microsoft expect everybody to rush out and buy their hardware. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Saitek but to no avail,

control panel and windows know that it is there and even settings in combat simulator also show that the joystick is installed and working correctly but it will not work at all in the game since replacing my old xp computer with a new all singing/dancing model which won't do the things I would like it to do. I also have a problem with my Epsom printer software since changing to vista.

NB The joystick is a Saitek Cyborg evo wireless.

Come back XP All is forgiven.

Make sure, that your Joystick is compatible with the version you are having problems with. If not, make sure that it's enabled in the configuration of MCFS. If none of those work, you will most likely have to purchase a more compatible Joystick.

You may be able to do it with a virtual machine setup if windows 8 does not like the game program.
depends on the program and how compatible it is as to if it will run and also direct x may cause you grief also.
If it worked in a dos type enviroment a dos emulator may work but I am unsure it really if trial and error testing to see if it will work.

Any computer games have system requirements needed. take a look at the system requirements before you install the game. The HDD, video card, RAM, etc. If your PC passed the said requirements?.... that game maybe work even if you had win 7, win 8, vista or xp.

click on the joystick and then click on the properties tab
check and adjust compatibility
tick the box and move down the list to win 7 and click that ---apply and ok
it sound slike a compatibility fault or a missing driver for the joystick

I am farmiliar with most flight simulators and know that you have to go to settings on the main menu the controls and select joystick, enable joystick and/or calibrate joystick. If this doesn't wok then in gameplay push "alt" on your keyboard if the task bar for flight simulator isn't at the top. Once or if it is allready there select settings and then enable joystick. If this doesn't work then call or contact or google microsoft flight simulator.
